Is it possible to micro step using the Pci7314 (open loop) controller, umi7764 and Labview. if so how would this be set up. i have searched the valuemotion vi libraries and found no microstepping functions. Please could you offer any advice. cheers JON ROGERS

Hi Jon,

Micro-stepping is a property of the motor amplifier (motor drive) rather than the controller. It sounds like you are using a 3rd party drive, since you have a UMI. You want to check with your motor amplifier documentation to see if it's supported. Usually, there will be dip-switches on the drive that sets the microstep factor.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
